No jail time for former Delaware police officer caught on video dragging teenager by hair [View all]

WILMINGTON, Del. — A former Delaware police corporal who pleaded guilty to repeatedly pulling a 16-year-old girl's hair and dragging her by the handcuffs while she was on her stomach last year has been sentenced to one year of probation.

New Castle County police released video of the incident on Thursday. Michael Carnevale, whose probation will be suspended upon completion of anger management courses, community service and the surrender of his police training certificate, declined to comment following his sentencing Thursday afternoon.

The two video clips released Thursday show Carnevale dragging the girl from the chain of the handcuffs fastened behind her back. The girl, who was resisting, appears to have fallen before Carnevale started dragging her while she was on her stomach.

A second clip also shows him dragging the girl to a holding room before she dropped to the ground. He was then joined by another officer who helped shove her into the room.
